Re: [Passwordsafe-devel] dated passwords

[J. W. H. <wre...@ne...>]

I use Password Safe on multiple computers storing it on a memory stick 
and using Microsoft Briefcase to sync between my machines; normally I'm 
pretty good about doing this but on occasion I've forgotten. One thing 
that I do to ensure against forgetting is to visually inspect and get a 
'rough count' of the # of entries. To that end, I am in the process of 
modifying it to show the # of entries at the bottom status bar (where it 
shows "Double-Click...." on the right, like "Num Entries: xxxx). I can 
hand this code off to one of the developers with CVS commit access if 
anyone is interested. Just let me know. Thx!
